ITEM 4 - ADVISORY BUSINESS
ABOUT OUR FIRM
Twin Peaks Wealth Advisors, LLC is currently registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
as an investment adviser, with its principal place of business located in California. Twin Peaks Wealth Advisors,
LLC has been in business since 2022, and its principal owners are Tushar Kumar and Vishal Kumar. Our Firm was
registered with the SEC as an investment adviser in 2022. Registration as an Investment Adviser with the United
States SEC or any state securities authority does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Our Firm currently
has offices located in San Francisco, CA.
This brochure is designed to provide detailed and precise information about each item noted in the table of
contents. Certain disclosures are repeated in one or more items, and other disclosures are referred throughout
to be as comprehensive as possible on the broad subject matters discussed.
Within this brochure, specific terms in either are used as follows:
• TPWA refers to Twin Peaks Wealth Advisors, LLC.
•
•
•
•
•
“Firm,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refers to Twin Peaks Wealth Advisors, LLC.
“Advisor,” “Investment Advisor Representative,” and “IAR” refers to our professional representatives
who provide investment recommendations or advice on behalf of Twin Peaks Wealth Advisors, LLC.
“You,” “yours,” and “Client” refers to Clients of Twin Peaks Wealth Advisors, LLC and its advisors.
“Code” refers to our Firm’s Code of Ethics.
“CCO” refers to our Chief Compliance Officer.
ADVISORY SERVICES WE OFFER
Our Firm offers a variety of advisory services, which include discretionary investment management, financial
planning, and consulting services and assets under advisement. Before rendering any preceding advisory
services, Clients must enter into one or more written Investment Advisory Agreements (“Agreements”), setting
forth the relevant terms and conditions of the advisory relationship.
We do not provide tax or legal advice. Clients should consult with an expert on tax or legal issues.
Our Firm manages portfolios for individuals, high-net-worth individuals and families, trusts, partnerships,
retirement plans, corporations, and charitable foundations. We provide investment management and advisory
services to multi-generational families using separately managed accounts under a custodial relationship with
an independent brokerage firm.
With our discretionary relationship, we will change the portfolio as appropriate to help meet your financial
objectives. We trade Client portfolios based on our Firm’s market views and the Client’s financial goals.
We primarily invest in equities, over-the-counter equities, American Depositary Receipts, corporate debt
securities, certificates of deposit, municipal securities, investment company securities, mutual funds, and
exchange-traded funds, and US Government Securities. A portion of the account may be held in cash, cash
equivalents, or money market funds as part of the overall investment strategy. Cash balances may have a higher
concentration and represent a sizable portion of your overall portfolio, depending on the current investment
outlook or strategy.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 6 OF 32
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities by notifying Us through written
notification.
Where deemed appropriate, we may recommend that our Clients invest in alternative assets, including hedge
funds, private equity funds, real estate funds, and other alternative funds. Although the Investment Advisory
Agreement with our Clients gives us broad investment authority, we do not anticipate investing in other security
types. However, from time to time, we will consider incorporating socially responsible investing (Sustainable
Investing Strategies (“SIS”) or Environment, Social, and Governance Strategies (“ESG”) for those Clients who
wish to align their portfolios with their personal preferences for Impact Investing. This may include investing in
both public and private markets. A Client’s investment allocation and our strategy will depend on the Client's
responses in review meetings, written questionnaires, stated goals, risk tolerance, objectives, and personal
preference for Impact Investing.
Clients are advised to promptly notify us if there are changes in their financial situation or if they wish to place
any limitations on managing their portfolios.
TPWA can recommend that certain clients utilize margin in the client’s investment portfolio or other borrowing.
TPWA only recommend such borrowing for non-investment needs, such as bridge loans and other financing
needs. The Firm’s fees are determined based on the value of the assets being managed gross of any margin or
borrowing.
Our Firm typically requires a minimum account size of $500,000 for advisory accounts. However, sometimes, at
our sole discretion, we may accept smaller accounts based on various criteria, such as anticipated future assets,
related accounts, and other individual Client circumstances.
NITROGEN (FORMERLY RISKALYZE)
To further fine-tune our understanding of a client’s risk tolerance, our Firm utilizes Nitrogen, a third-party
vendor tool, to assist in identifying the client’s risk tolerance.
Nitrogen technology assists financial planners in two critical tasks: (1) measuring the risk preferences of
investors and (2) applying these preference measurements to portfolio selection. Nitrogen summarizes an
investor’s mean-variance risk aversion on a 99-point scale. In connection with this output, the Nitrogen tool
“quantifies” the client’s indicated investment risk tolerance through the illustration of expected return
(plus/minus) and investment volatility (investment variance), which uses past data to calculate expected
variance.
PONTERA
Our Firm is engaged with Pontera, an unaffiliated third-party service provider, for Client accounts not
directly held with our recommended Custodian; but where our team has discretion and leverages an Order
Management System to implement asset allocation or rebalancing strategies on behalf of the Client. These
are primarily 401(k) accounts, 403(b) accounts, 529 plans, variable annuities, and other assets not held with
the recommended Custodian. We regularly review the current holdings and available investment options
in these accounts, monitor the account, rebalance, and implement our Firm’s strategies, as necessary.
The platform allows us to avoid being considered to have custody of Client funds since we do not have
direct access to Client log-in credentials to affect trades. We are not affiliated with the platform in any way
and receive no compensation from them for using their platform. A link will be provided to the Client,
allowing them to connect an account(s) to the platform. Once the Client account(s) is connected to the
platform, the Adviser will review the current account allocations and investment options. When we are
authorized with discretionary management, we will rebalance the account, considering Client investment
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 7 OF 32
goals and risk tolerance, and any change in allocations will consider current economic and market trends.
The goal is to improve account performance over time, minimize losses during complex markets, and
manage internal fees that harm account performance. Client account(s) will be reviewed quarterly, and
allocation changes will be made, as necessary.
LEGACY MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Our Firm may advise a Client about legacy positions or other investments in Client portfolios. Clients can limit
or restrict our trading and/ or billing in these positions.
FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
Financial planning services are bundled with investment advisory services for our clients with $2,000,000 or mor
in investable assets. Occasionally, our Firm offers financial planning services on an individual basis, which involve
preparing a written financial plan covering specific or multiple topics. We provide full written financial plans,
which may address one or several topics: Investment Planning, Retirement Planning, Insurance Planning, Tax
Planning, Education Planning, Portfolios, and Allocation Review.
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the Client is solely responsible for determining whether to implement our
financial planning recommendations. Our financial planning services do not involve implementing transactions
on your behalf nor include active and ongoing monitoring or management of your investments or accounts.
The Client must execute a separate written agreement if the Client elects to implement any of our investment
recommendations through our Firm or retain our Firm to monitor and manage investments actively.
CONSULTING SERVICES & ASSETS UNDER ADVISEMENT
Our investment consulting and advisement services are designed to meet our Client’s financial goals, needs,
and objectives involving analysis of a Client’s investments, such as variable life insurance and annuity contracts
and assets held in employer-sponsored retirement plans, and qualified tuition plans (i.e., 529 plans) held
externally from our Firm. In these situations, our Firm may direct or recommend allocating assets among the
various investment options available within the product.
EMONEY ADVISOR PLATFORM
Our Firm makes available to Clients the “eMoney Advisor” platforms to provide periodic comprehensive
reporting services that can incorporate all the Client’s investment assets, including those investment assets
that are not part of the assets managed by our Firm (“Excluded Assets”). The Client and their other advisors
that maintain trading authority, and not our Firm, shall be exclusively responsible for the investment
performance of the excluded assets.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing, our Firm’s service relative to the excluded assets is limited
to reporting only. Therefore, we shall not be responsible for the investment performance of the excluded
assets. Instead, the Client and the Client’s designated outside investment professional(s) maintain
supervision, monitoring, and trading authority for the excluded assets. If our Client prefers, we will make
recommendations as to any excluded assets, the Client has no obligation to accept the recommendation,
and we shall not be responsible for any implementation error (timing, trading, etc.) relative to the excluded
assets. The Client may engage us under the terms and conditions of a Consulting or Investment Advisory
Agreement between our Firm and the Client.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 8 OF 32
eMoney Advisor Platform may also provide access to other types of information, including financial planning
concepts, which should not be construed as our Firm’s personalized
investment advice or
recommendations. We shall not be held responsible for any adverse results a Client may experience if the
Client engages in financial planning or other functions available on the eMoney Advisor Platform without
our assistance or oversight.
INDEPENDENT SUB-ADVISORY AND THIRD-PARTY MANAGER SERVICES
If deemed appropriate, our Firm will utilize the services of a Sub-Advisor (“SMA” or “Manager”) or Independent
Third-Party Manager (“ITPM” or “Manager”) to manage your accounts. Investment recommendations and
securities trading will only be offered by or through the chosen SMA or ITPM. Our Firm will not advise on any
specific securities concerning this service.
Before referring you, our Firm will provide initial due diligence on SMA and ITPMs and ongoing reviews of their
management of your accounts. To assist in selecting an SMA or ITPM, our Firm will gather information about the
Client’s financial situation, investment objectives, and reasonable restrictions to be imposed upon the account
management.
Our Firm will periodically review the Manager reports provided to the Client. We will periodically contact the
Client to review their financial situation and objectives, communicate information to the Manager as warranted,
and assist you in understanding and evaluating the services provided. The Client will be expected to notify our
Firm of any changes in their financial situation, investment objectives, or account restrictions that could affect
their financial standing.
By executing an Investment Advisory Agreement with our Firm, the Client gives our Firm the discretionary
authority to hire or fire the Manager and to allocate assets among Managers without obtaining consent.
The services provided by the SMA and ITPM include:
Implementation of an asset allocation
• Assessment of your investment needs and objectives
•
• Delivery of suitable style allocations (e.g., Income, Large Cap, Small Cap, Growth, Value, etc.)
• Facilitation of portfolio transactions
• Ongoing monitoring of investment vehicles’ performance
• Review of accounts for adherence to policy guidelines and asset allocation
• Reporting of your portfolio activity.
Each Manager has minimum account requirements that will vary between Managers. Account minimums are
typically higher for fixed-income accounts than for equity-based accounts. A complete description of the
Manager’s services, fee schedules, and account minimums will be disclosed in the Manager’s disclosure
brochure, which will be provided to you before or when an agreement for services is executed, and the account
is established.
RETIREMENT PLAN SERVICES
When providing any non-discretionary investment advisory services, we will solely be making investment
recommendations to the Sponsor, and the Sponsor retains full discretionary authority or control over assets of
the retirement plan. We agree to perform any non-discretionary investment advisory services to the retirement
plan as a fiduciary, as defined in ERISA Section 3(21)(A)(ii). We will act in good faith and with the degree of
diligence, care, and skill that a prudent person rendering similar services would exercise under similar
circumstances.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 9 OF 32
When providing administrative services, we may support the Sponsor with plan governance and committee
education; vendor management and service provider selection and review; investment education; or plan
participant non-fiduciary education services. We agree to perform any administrative services solely in a capacity
that would not be considered a fiduciary under ERISA or any other applicable law.
When offering investment models to plan sponsors, under certain circumstances, we will act as a “fiduciary” as
defined under Section 3(21) of ERISA and Section 4975I (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”).
ROLLOVER RECOMMENDATION DISCLOSURE
Our Firm is considered a fiduciary under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. When we provide investment
advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are also fiduciaries
within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the Internal Revenue Code,
as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. We must act in your best interest and not put our
interests ahead of yours. At the same time, how we make money conflicts with Client interests.
A Client leaving an employer typically has four options regarding an existing retirement plan (and may engage
in a combination of these options):
•
•
•
•
leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted,
roll over the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted,
rollover to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or
cash out the account value (which depending upon the Client’s age, could result in adverse tax
consequences).
Our Firm may recommend a Client rollover plan assets to an IRA for which our Firm provides investment advisory
services. As a result, our Firm and its advisors may earn an asset-based fee on the rolled assets. In contrast, a
recommendation that a Client leave their plan assets with their previous employer or rollover the assets to a plan
sponsored by a new employer will result in no compensation to our Firm. Therefore, our Firm has an economic
incentive to encourage a Client to roll plan assets into an IRA that our Firm will manage, which presents a conflict
of interest. To mitigate the conflict of interest, there are numerous factors that our Firm will consider before
recommending a rollover, including but not limited to:
the investment options available in the plan versus the investment options available in an IRA,
fees and expenses in the plan versus the fees and expenses in an IRA,
the services and responsiveness of the plan’s investment professionals versus those of our Firm,
required minimum distributions and age considerations, and
•
•
•
• protection of assets from creditors and legal judgments,
•
• employer stock tax consequences, if any.
The Chief Compliance Officer remains available to address client questions regarding the supervision and
oversight of rollover and transfer assets.
SEMINARS & WORKSHOPS
Our Firm occasionally provides financial, retirement, estate, and college planning seminars. Seminars are always
offered on an impersonal basis and do not focus on the individual needs of participants.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 10 OF 32
CLIENT OBJECTIVES & RESTRICTIONS
Our Firm tailors our investment management and advisory services continuously to meet the needs of our
Clients. We seek to ensure Client portfolios are managed consistently with those needs and objectives in mind.
We meet with Clients on an initial and ongoing basis to assess their specific risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity
constraints, and other related factors relevant to managing their portfolios. Clients may impose reasonable
restrictions on managing the accounts if the conditions do not impact the performance of a management
strategy.
WRAP FEE PROGRAM
Our Firm does not sponsor or participate in a Wrap Program.
REGULATORY ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
As of December 31, 2024, our Firm had $410,400,224 in regulatory assets under management, all of which was
managed on a discretionary basis.
ITEM 5 - FEES AND COMPENSATION
In addition to the information provided in Item 4 – Advisory Business, this section details our Firm’s services and
each service’s fees and compensation arrangement. The Client and TPWA’s Investment Advisory Agreement will
outline and agree upon the exact costs and other terms related to the Client’s Accounts.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE
Our Firm offers investment management services for an annual fee based on the amount of assets under
management. Our maximum annual fee is 2.00%, based on the tiered fee schedule below and we have a
minimum account size of $500,000. We retain the right to waive the minimum account size at our discretion.

Our annual fee is reasonable in relation to (1) the services provided and (2) the fees charged by other investment
advisers offering similar services/programs.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 11 OF 32
Our annual fee is prorated and charged quarterly in advance based on the average daily balance of the account.
Cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, are subject to your advisory fee. Clients should
understand that the advisory fees charged on these balances may exceed the returns provided by cash, cash
equivalents, or money market funds, especially in low-interest rate environments.
Our Firm retains complete discretion to negotiate fees and may waive or impose different fees on any Client.
The investment advisory fees will be deducted from your account and paid directly to our Firm by the qualified
Custodian(s) of your account. The Client will authorize your account's qualified Custodian(s) to deduct fees from
the account and pay such fees directly to our Firm. All account assets, transactions, and advisory fees will be
shown on the monthly or quarterly statements provided by the Custodian. You should review your account
statements received from the qualified Custodian(s) and verify that appropriate investment advisory fees are
being deducted. The qualified Custodian(s) will not verify the accuracy of the investment advisory fees deducted.
We may aggregate related Client accounts to calculate the advisory fee applicable to the Client. The investment
management agreement will outline the fee charged to a Client and any breakpoints based on the level of assets
managed. The fees are subject to change with prior written notice to the Client.
Our annual investment advisory fee may be higher than that of other investment advisers that offer similar
services and programs. In addition to our compensation, you may incur charges imposed at the mutual fund
level (e.g., advisory fees and other fund expenses).
Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a prorated fee based on the days the
Client account was open during that quarter. Any prepaid, unearned fees will be refunded upon termination of
any account.
LEGACY MANAGEMENT FEE
Managed legacy positions are included within our Firm’s standard investment management fee and are outlined
in the executed investment management agreement.
FINANCIAL PLANNING FEE
Our Firm provides financial planning services under a fixed or hourly fee arrangement. This arrangement charges
a mutually agreed-upon fee for financial planning services.
For clients with more than $2,000,000 in investable assets, financial planning is included in the investment
advisory fee.
For clients with less than $2,000,000 in investable assets, there is a maximum fixed fees for financial planning
services of $20,000. Hourly fees for financial planning can go up to $500 per hour depending on the scope and
complexity of the project.
Fees charged for our financial planning services are negotiable based upon the type of Client, the services
requested, the investment adviser representative providing advice, the complexity of the Client's situation, the
composition of the Client's account, other advisory services provided, and the relationship of the Client and the
investment adviser representative.
The amount of the fee for your engagement is specified in your financial planning agreement with us. At our
sole discretion, the Client may be required to pay the fee at the time the agreement is executed with our Firm;
however, our Firm does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per Client, six months or
more in advance. The fee is considered earned upon delivery of the financial plan, and any unpaid amount is
immediately due.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 12 OF 32
The Client may pay the fees owed for the financial planning services by submitting payment directly via Advice
Pay or by deducting the fee from an existing investment account. If the Client elects to pay by automatic
deduction from an existing investment account, they will provide written authorization to our Firm for such a
charge.
If the Client terminates the financial planning services after entering into an agreement with our Firm, the Client
will be invoiced and responsible for immediate payment of any hourly financial planning services performed by
us before receiving notice of termination. For financial planning services, our Firm performs under a fixed or
hourly fee arrangement, the Client will be responsible for paying a pro-rated fixed fee equivalent to the
percentage of work that our Firm completed. If there is a remaining balance of any fees paid in advance after
deducting fees from the final invoice, those remaining proceeds will be refunded to the Client.
CONSULTING SERVICES & ASSETS UNDER ADVISEMENT FEE
Our Firm provides consulting services based on a fixed or hourly fee arrangement, with a fixed fee generally up
to $20,000 or $250-$500 per hour. This arrangement charges a mutually agreed-upon fee for consulting planning
services.
Fees charged for consulting services are negotiable based on the type of Client, the services requested, the
investment adviser representative providing advice, the complexity of the Client's situation, the composition of
the Client's account, other advisory services provided, and the relationship of the Client and the investment
adviser representative.
INDEPENDENT SUB-ADVISORY & THIRD-PARTY MANAGER SERVICE FEES
A complete description of the SMA and ITPM’s services, fee schedules, and account minimums will be disclosed
in Manager's disclosure brochure, which will be provided to you before or when an agreement for services is
executed, and the account is established. Each third-party investment adviser is required under federal securities
laws to provide their clients, including SMA and ITPM Clients, with a Form ADV Part 2A (“Adviser Brochure” or
“this Brochure”) that includes disclosures, and among other things, the fees charged to their clients.
The actual fee charged to the Client will vary depending on SMA or ITPM. All fees are calculated and collected
by the Manager, who will be responsible for delivering our Firm’s portion of the fee paid by the Client. With
SMA and ITPMs, you may incur additional charges, including mutual fund sales loads, 12b-1 fees and surrender
charges, and IRA and qualified retirement plan fees.
There is a potential conflict of interest in using independent Managers if they pay us a portion of their advisory
fee and have met the conditions of our Firm’s due diligence review. Our Firm is committed to always working in
the Client's best interest. There may be other Managers not affiliated with our Firm that may be suitable for a
Client or may be more or less costly. As with any Advisor, no guarantees can be made that the SMA or ITPM will
achieve your financial goals or objectives. Further, no guarantees of performance can be offered.
Clients should review the SMA or ITPM’s Brochure in its entirety, along with this Brochure, to fully understand
the services, fees, agreements, and risks surrounding these arrangements and fully understand that these types
of arrangements have layers of fees that may or may not be apparent without reading the SMA or ITPM’s
Brochure and this Brochure, along with the offering document/prospectus for underlining investments.

RETIREMENT PLAN SERVICE FEE
For Retirement Plan Advisory Services compensation, we charge an advisory fee as negotiated with the Plan
Sponsor and as disclosed in the Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans Consulting Agreement (“Plan Sponsor
Agreement”).
Typically, the billing period for these fees is paid quarterly. This fee is negotiable, but the terms and the advisory
fee are agreed upon in advance and acknowledged by the Plan Sponsor Agreement or Plan Provider’s account
agreement. Fee billing methods vary depending on the Plan Provider.
Our Firm or the Plan Sponsor may terminate the Agreement upon 30 days written notice to the other party. The
Plan Sponsor is responsible for paying for the services rendered until the termination of the Agreement.
SEMINARS & WORKSHOPS FEE
Occasionally, our Firm offers complimentary seminars and workshops to clients and prospective clients.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PROVIDED BY BLACK DIAMOND
Our Firm has contracted with Black Diamond to utilize its technology platforms to support data reconciliation,
performance reporting, fee calculation and billing, client database maintenance, quarterly performance
evaluations, payable reports, and other functions related to the administrative tasks of managing client accounts.
Due to this arrangement, Black Diamond will have access to client information, but Black Diamond will not serve
as an investment adviser to our clients. Our Firm and Black Diamond are non-affiliated companies. Black
Diamond charges our Firm an annual fee for each account administered by Black Diamond. Please note that the
fee charged to the client will not increase due to the annual fee our firm pays to Black Diamond, the annual fee
is paid from the portion of the management fee retained by our Firm.
There may be a possibility of price or account value discrepancies due to quarter-end transactions in an account.
Dividends or trade date settlements may occur, and our third-party billing software may report a slight difference
in account valuation at quarter end compared to what is reported in your Statement from the Custodian. Our
firm has the ability to produce billing summaries, which can be provided upon request.
ADDITIONAL FEES & EXPENSES
In addition to the advisory fees paid to our Firm, Clients also incur certain charges imposed by other third parties,
such as broker-dealers, Custodians, trust companies, banks, and other financial institutions. These additional
charges include securities, transaction fees, custodial fees, fees charged by the SMA, ITPM, and Manager
charges imposed by a mutual fund or ETF (Exchange Traded Funds) in a Client’s account, as disclosed in the
fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other fund expenses), deferred sales charges, odd-lot
differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage
accounts and securities transactions. Our brokerage practices are described at length in Item 12 below. Neither
our Firm nor its supervised persons accept commission compensation for selling securities or other investment
products. Further, we do not share any additional fees and expenses outlined above.
Our Firm’s investment strategies may include mutual and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Our policy is to
purchase institutional share classes of those mutual funds selected for the Client’s portfolio. The institutional
share class generally has the lowest expense ratio. The expense ratio is the annual fee that all mutual funds or
ETFs charge their shareholders. It expresses the percentage of assets deducted each fiscal year for funds
expenses, including 12b-1 fees, management fees, administrative fees, operating costs, and all other asset-
based costs incurred by the fund. Some fund families offer different classes of the same fund, and one share
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 14 OF 32
class may have a lower expense ratio than another. Mutual fund expense ratios are in addition to our fees; we
do not receive any portion of these charges. If an institutional share class is not available for the mutual fund
selected, the adviser will purchase the least expensive share class available for the mutual fund. As share classes
with lower expense ratios become available, we may use them in the Client’s portfolio or convert the existing
mutual fund position to the lower-cost share class. Clients who transfer mutual funds into their accounts with our
Firm would bear the expense of any contingent or deferred sales loads incurred upon selling the product. If a
mutual fund has a frequent trading policy, the policy can limit a Client’s transactions in fund shares (e.g., for
rebalancing, liquidations, deposits, or tax harvesting). All mutual fund expenses and fees are disclosed in the
respective mutual fund prospectus.
When selecting investments for our Clients’ portfolios, we might choose mutual funds on your account
Custodian’s Non-Transaction Fee (NTF) list. This means that your account Custodian will not charge a transaction
fee or commission associated with the purchase or sale of the mutual fund.
The mutual fund companies that choose to participate in the Client’s Custodial NTF fund program pay a fee to
the Custodian to be included in the NTF program. The mutual fund owners bear the fee that a company pays to
participate in the program, as captured in the fund’s expense ratio. When choosing a fund from the Client’s
Custodial NTF list, our Firm considers the expected holding period, position size, and expense ratio versus
alternative funds. Depending on our Firm’s analysis and future events, NTF funds might not always be in the
Client’s best interest.
ITEM 6 - PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES & SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
Performance-based fees are based on a share of capital gains on or appreciation of the assets in a Client’s
account.
Our Firm does not accept performance-based or other fees based on a share of capital gains or appreciation of
a Client's assets.
ITEM 7 - TYPES OF CLIENTS
Our Firm provides investment management, investment advice, financial planning, and consulting and
advisement to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, families, estates, corporations, and charitable foundations.
Our firm requires a minimum account value of $500,000 for advisory services. Clients have the
option to aggregate all household accounts to meet this minimum. Exceptions to the minimum
account requirement may be granted based on the Client's relationship with their representative.
For fee calculation purposes, unless instructed otherwise, we will automatically aggregate related
client accounts, a practice commonly known as "householding" portfolios. Householding may result
in lower fees than if each account were billed separately, as the combined value is used to
determine the account size and the corresponding annualized fee.
Our approach to householding considers the overall family dynamic and relationship. Additionally, if
applicable, and as noted in Appendix B of the Investment Management Agreement, legacy positions
may be excluded from the fee calculation.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 15 OF 32
Clients must execute a written agreement with our Firm specifying the advisory services to establish a Client
arrangement with us.
ITEM 8 - METHODS OF ANALYSIS, STRATEGIES, & RISK OF LOSS
METHODS OF ANALYSIS
Our Investment Advisory Representatives will generally use the following analysis methods to formulate our
investment advice and manage Client assets. However, each IAR can manage its Client’s account as necessary,
and their specific analysis method may vary from below. Clients should acknowledge that investing in securities
involves the risk of loss, regardless of the strategies, that Clients should be prepared to bear.
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Our Firm may use any of the following investment strategies when managing Client assets and providing
investment advice:
ASSET ALLOCATION
Asset Allocation is the process of attempting to maximize our client’s portfolio objectives while minimizing the
associated risks. We manage diversified portfolios utilizing Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and actively managed
institutional share class mutual funds to provide a long-term core strategic asset allocation. The strategic
allocation decisions generally consider the recommendation of the recognized best in the business firm’s security
research (i.e. Morningstar, Fidelity Institutional Asset Management, Blackrock, and other third-party sources).
These core allocations will focus on seeking non-correlated assets to reduce short term volatility. We also will
incorporate short-term tactical themes representing opportunities given the current state of the economy.
MUTUAL FUND AND/OR ETF ANALYSIS
We use ETFs to weight sectors, geographies, market-caps and styles to ensure portfolios reflect potential
opportunity within capital market assumptions over time. We look at the underlying assets in a mutual fund or
ETF to determine if there is significant overlap in the underlying investments held in other fund(s) in the client’s
portfolio. We also monitor the funds or ETFs to determine if they are continuing to follow their stated investment
strategy. A risk of mutual fund and/or ETF analysis is that, as in all securities investments, past performance does
not guarantee future results. Because we do not control the underlying investments in a fund or ETF, managers
of different funds held by the client may purchase the same security thereby increasing the risk to the client if
that security were to fall in value. There is also a risk that a manager may deviate from the stated investment
mandate or strategy of the fund or ETF which could make the holding(s) less suitable for the client’s portfolio.
CONSTRAINTS
Fundamental analysis attempts to identify stocks offering sturdy growth potential at a competitive price by
examining the underlying company's business and conditions within its industry or the broader economy.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 16 OF 32
Investors have traditionally used fundamental analysis for longer-term trades, relying on metrics such as earnings
per share, price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-earnings growth, and dividend yield.
RISK OF LOSS
A Client’s investment portfolio is affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates,
availability of credit, inflation rates, economic conditions, changes in laws, and national and international political
circumstances.
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Our Firm will assist Clients in determining an appropriate
strategy based on their tolerance for risk.
While we are alert to indications that data may be incorrect, there is always a risk that our analysis may be
compromised by inaccurate or misleading information.
ACTIVE MANAGEMENT RISK
Due to its active management, a portfolio could underperform other portfolios with similar investment objectives
or strategies.
ALLOCATION RISK
A portfolio may use an asset allocation strategy to pursue its investment objective. There is a risk that a portfolio’s
allocation among asset classes or investments will cause a portfolio to lose value or cause it to underperform
other portfolios with a similar investment objective or strategy or that the investments themselves will not
produce the returns expected.
ALTERNATIVE RISK
Alternative investments include other additional risks. Lock-up periods and other terms obligate Clients to
commit their capital investment for a minimum period, typically no less than one or two years and sometimes up
to 10 or more years. Illiquidity is considered a substantial risk and will restrict the ability of a Client to liquidate
an investment early, regardless of the success of the investment. Alternative investments are difficult to value
within a Client’s total portfolio. There may be limited availability of suitable benchmarks for performance
comparison; historical performance data may also be limited.
In some cases, there may be a lack of transparency and regulation, providing an additional layer of risk. Some
alternative investments may involve the use of leverage and other speculative techniques. As a result, some
alternative investments may carry substantial additional risks, resulting in the loss of some or all the investment.
Using leverage and certain other strategies will result in adverse tax consequences for tax-exempt investors,
such as the possibility of unrelated business taxable income, as defined under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
CAPITALIZATION RISK
Small-cap and mid-cap companies may be hindered due to limited resources or less diverse products or services.
Their stocks have historically been more volatile than the stocks of larger, more established companies.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 17 OF 32
CYBERSECURITY RISK
Increased Internet use makes a portfolio susceptible to operational and informational security risks. In general,
cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyberattacks include but are not
limited to infection by computer viruses or other malicious software code, gaining unauthorized access to
systems, networks, or devices through “hacking” or other means to misappropriate assets or sensitive
information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cybersecurity failures or breaches of third-party
service providers may cause disruptions at third-party service providers and impact our business operations,
potentially resulting in financial losses; the inability to transact business; violations of applicable privacy and
other laws, regulatory fines, or penalties; reputational damage; unanticipated expenses or other compensation
costs; or additional compliance costs. Our Firm has an established business continuity and disaster recovery plan
and related cybersecurity procedures designed to prevent or reduce the impact of such risks; there are inherent
limitations in such plans and systems due in part to the evolving nature of technology and cyberattack tactics.
INDUSTRY OR SECTOR RISK
An account that focuses its investments in specific industries or sectors is more susceptible to developments
affecting those industries and sectors than a more broadly diversified fund. Issuers in a single industry can react
similarly to market, economic, industry, social, political, regulatory, and other conditions. For example, suppose
an account has significant investments in technology companies. In that case, the account may perform poorly
during a downturn in one or more industries or sectors that heavily impact technology companies.
INTEREST RATE RISK
When interest rates increase, the value of the account’s investments may decline, and the account’s share value
may decrease. This effect is typically more pronounced for intermediate and longer-term obligations. This effect
is also typically more pronounced for mortgages and other asset-backed securities since the value may fluctuate
more significantly in response to interest rate changes. When interest rates decrease, the account’s current
income may decline.
LEGACY HOLDING RISK
Investment advice may be offered on any investment a Client holds at the start of the advisory relationship.
Depending on tax considerations and Client sentiment, these investments will be sold over time, and the assets
invested in the appropriate strategy. As with any investment decision, there is the risk that timing with respect
to the sale and reinvestment of these assets will be less than ideal or even result in a loss to the Client.
LIQUIDITY RISK
Low trading volume, large positions, or legal restrictions are some conditions that could limit or prevent a
portfolio from selling securities or closing positions at desirable prices. Securities that are relatively liquid when
acquired could become illiquid over time. The sale of any such illiquid investment might be possible only at
substantial discounts or might not be possible at all. Further, such investments may take more work to value.
MANAGEMENT RISK
An account is subject to the risk that judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the
account’s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the selection of securities or strategies fails to produce the
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 18 OF 32
intended results, the account could underperform other accounts with similar objectives and investment
strategies.
MARKET RISK
Even a long-term investment approach cannot guarantee a profit. Economic, political, and issuer-specific events
will cause the value of securities to rise or fall. Because the value of investment portfolios will fluctuate, there is
the risk that you will lose money, and your investment may be worth less upon liquidation. Due to a lack of
demand in the marketplace or other factors, an account may only be able to sell some or all the investments
promptly or may only be able to sell assets at desired prices.
MUNICIPAL BOND RISK
Investments in municipal bonds are affected by the municipal market and the factors in the cities, states, or
regions where the strategy invests. Issues such as legislative changes, litigation, business and political conditions
relating to a particular municipal project, municipality, state, or territory, and fiscal challenges can impact the
value of municipal bonds. These matters can also impact the ability of the issuer to make payments. Also, the
public information about municipal bonds is less than that for corporate equities or bonds. Additionally, supply
and demand imbalances in the municipal bond market can cause deterioration in liquidity and a lack of price
transparency.
MUTUAL FUND OR ETF RISK
Our models and accounts may use certain ETFs and mutual funds to invest primarily in alternative investments
or strategies. Investing in these alternative investments and strategies may only be suitable for some of our
Clients. These include special risks, such as those associated with commodities, real estate, and leverage, selling
securities short, use of derivatives, potential adverse market forces, regulatory changes, and potential ill-liquidity.
Special risks are associated with ETFs that invest principally in real estate securities, such as sensitivity to changes
in real estate values or changes in interest rates and price volatility due to the ETF’s concentration in the real
estate market.
The risks with mutual funds include the costs and expenses within the fund that can impact performance, change
of Managers, and the fund straying from its objective (i.e., style drift). Mutual funds have certain costs associated
with underlying transactions and operating costs, such as marketing and distribution expenses and advisory fees.
Mutual fund costs and expenses vary from fund to fund and will impact a mutual fund’s performance.
Additionally, mutual funds typically have different share classes, as further discussed below, that trade at different
Net Asset Values (“NAV”) as determined at the daily market close and have different fees and expenses.
VARIABLE ANNUITY RISK
We may recommend or provide advice on fee based variable annuities when appropriate for a client’s financial
situation and objectives. Variable annuities are complex, long-term investment products that carry several risks,
including market risk due to the fluctuation of underlying subaccount values, liquidity risk from surrender charges
and early withdrawal penalties, and the impact of high fees such as mortality and expense charges, administrative
fees, and optional rider costs. These products may also involve complexity and limited transparency, making it
difficult for investors to fully understand all features and costs. Additionally, any guarantees are subject to the
financial strength of the issuing insurance company and are not backed by any government agency.

ITEM 9 - DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Registered investment advisers are required to provide information about all disciplinary information that would
be material to a Client’s evaluation of our Firm or the integrity of its management. Clients should refer to the
Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement. If the Client did not receive the Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2B
Brochure Supplement, the Client should contact the Chief Compliance Officer using the information provided
on the cover page of this Brochure. Our Chief Compliance Officer is available to address any questions a Client
or prospective client may have regarding the above or any information outlined in this Brochure.
Our Firm has no legal or disciplinary events that are material to a Client or prospective clients, but some
individuals of our firm may have disciplinary events that are deemed material in the evaluation of our advisory
business, or the integrity of our management services.
ITEM 10 - OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES & AFFILIATIONS
Clients should review our IARs Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement to determine whether the Client’s IAR
is engaged in any of the activities described below that may create a conflict of interest. If the Client did not
receive the Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement, the Client should contact the Firm’s Chief
Compliance Officer using the information on the cover page of this Brochure. The Chief Compliance Officer is
available to address any questions a Client or prospective client may have regarding any of the below conflicts
of interest, or any other information outlined in this Brochure.
OTHER FINANCIAL AFFILIATIONS
Our Firm is under common ownership with the following companies:
Tushar Kumar and Vishal Kumar, owners of our Firm, are also owners of TPWA Insurance Services, LLC, an affiliate
of our Firm. Tushar Kumar and Vishal Kumar as well as other employees of Twin Peaks Wealth Advisors are
insurance agents under TPWA Insurance Services, LLC. Employees of TPWA Insurance Services, LLC and Twin
Peaks Wealth Advisors will spend less than 5% of their time in this area. Many of the employees of Twin Peaks
Wealth Advisors and our Firm have a written agreement to be compensated as insurance agents under TPWA
Insurance Services. Clients are under no obligation to engage with TPWA Insurance Service, LLC.
BROKER-DEALER AFFILIATED
Our Firm is not a broker-dealer, but some of the IARs are Registered Representatives of Purshe Kaplan Sterling
(“PKS”), a full-service broker-dealer, member FINRA/SIPC, which compensates them for effecting securities
transactions. When placing securities transactions through PKS in their capacity as Registered Representatives,
they will earn sales commissions. Because some of the IARs are dually registered representatives and agents of
PKS and our Firm, PKS, has specific supervisory and administrative duties under the requirements of FINRA
Conduct Rule 3280. PKS and our Firm are not affiliated companies. Some of our IARs spend a portion of their
time in connection with broker-dealer activities.
As a broker-dealer, PKS engage in various activities normally associated with securities brokerage firms. Pursuant
to the investment advice given by our Firm or its IARs, investments in securities may be recommended for Clients.
If PKS is selected as the broker-dealer, PKS and its Registered Representatives, including some of the IARs of
our Firm, may individually receive commissions for executing securities transactions.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 20 OF 32
If PKS is selected as the broker-dealer, the transaction charges may be higher or lower than the charges you may
pay if the transactions were executed at other broker-dealers. You should note, however, that you are under no
obligation to purchase securities through the IARs of our Firm or PKS.
Moreover, you should note that under the rules and regulations of FINRA, PKS must maintain certain Client
records and perform other functions regarding certain aspects of the investment advisory activities of its
Registered Representatives. These obligations require PKS to coordinate with and have the cooperation of its
Registered Representatives that operate as or are otherwise associated with investment advisors other than PKS.
Accordingly, PKS may limit the use of certain custodial and brokerage arrangements available to Clients of our
Firm, and PKS may collect, as paying agent of our Firm, the investment advisory fee remitted to our Firm by the
account Custodian. PKS may retain a portion of the investment advisory fee you pay as a charge for the functions
it performs and may be further re-allowed to other Registered Representatives of PKS. The charge will not
increase the advisory fee you have agreed to pay our Firm.
Some of the IARs, in their capacity as Registered Representatives of PKS or as agents appointed with various
life, disability, or other insurance companies, receive insurance commissions, fee trails, or other compensation
from the respective product sponsors or because of effecting securities transactions for Clients. However, Clients
should note that they are not obligated to purchase investment products through our IARs.
As a result of the relationship with PKS, they may have access to certain confidential information (e.g., financial
information, investment objectives, transactions, and holdings) about our Clients, even if the Client does not
establish any account through PKS. If you would like a copy of the PKS Privacy Policy, please contact our Firm’s
CCO. The contact information for our Firm can be found on the Cover Page of this Brochure.
INSURANCE COMPANIES
In their individual capacities, some of our Firm’s IARs are agents for various third-party insurance companies. As
such, these individuals may receive separate yet customary commission compensation for implementing product
transactions on our advisory Clients' behalf. Clients, however, are not obligated to engage IARs when
considering implementing advisory or insurance recommendations. Implementing any or all recommendations
is solely at the Client's discretion.
ITEM 11 - CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION & INTEREST IN CLIENT
TRANSACTIONS, & PERSONAL TRADING
Our Firm maintains a Code of Ethics to reinforce the fiduciary principles governing our Firm and its employees.
The Code, among other things, requires all employees to act with integrity and ethics, and professionalism.
Policies against overreaching, self-dealing, insider trading, and conflicts of interest are outlined in our Code. Our
Code forbids employees from trading, either personally or on behalf of others, based on non-public material
information or communicating non-public material information to others violating the law.
Additionally, our Code sets forth restrictions and quarterly attestations on receiving gifts, outside business
activities, personal trading activity, maintenance of personal brokerage accounts, and other matters. The Code
is appropriately designed and implemented to prevent or eliminate potential conflicts of interest between our
Firm, our employees and IARs, Clients, and investors. We always strive to make decisions in our Client's best
interest should a conflict of interest arise.
Clients should be aware that no set of rules, policies, or procedures can anticipate, avoid, or address all potential
conflicts of interest.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 21 OF 32
PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS & PERSONAL TRADING
Our employees, IARs, and our associated persons are not prohibited from owning or trading securities bought,
sold, and recommended to our Clients, provided such personal trading activity complies with the parameters,
limitations, and requirements of the Code. Employees, IARs, and associated persons must receive approval from
our Firm’s CCO when engaging in reportable securities transactions. Our CCO is responsible for reviewing all
employees', IARs, and associated persons' trading when they occur and periodically reviewing trading activity.
Our CCO has broad discretion to reject employee trading for any reason. Our Firm’s policies and procedures
related to the personal trading activity of employees aim to demonstrate our commitment to placing Clients’
interests ahead of our trading interests.
While our Firm does not maintain a proprietary trading account and therefore does not have a direct material
financial interest in any securities it recommends to Clients, in certain situations, our Firm’s employees and
associated persons may purchase interests in the same securities at the same or different portfolio percentages
or risk levels, in which one or more Clients is investing or has invested. Conversely, a Client may purchase
interests in security where our employees, IARs, and associated persons are investing or have invested.
Any exceptions to the Code require the prior approval of the CCO. We will provide a copy of the Code to any
Client or prospective client upon such written or verbal request. Such requests should be directed to our Firm’s
CCO at the contact information listed in Item 1 - Cover Page of this Brochure.
ITEM 12 - BROKERAGE PRACTICES
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Clients must maintain assets in an account with a “qualified Custodian,” a broker-dealer or bank. If our Firm is
asked to give a recommendation, our recommendation is based on the broker’s cost and fees, skills, reputation,
dependability, and compatibility with the Client. The Client may obtain lower commissions and fees from other
brokers.
CUSTODIANS
While our Firm recommends that Clients use Schwab or Fidelity (collectively “Custodians”) as a Custodian,
Clients must decide whether to do so and open accounts with Custodians by entering into account agreements
directly with them. The Client opens the accounts with Custodians. The accounts will always be held in the
Client's name and never in our Firm’s.
HOW OUR FIRM SELECTS CUSTODIAN-BROKER
Our Firm seeks to recommend a Custodian-Broker who will hold Client assets and execute the transactions on
terms that are, overall, most advantageous compared to other available providers and their services. Our Firm
considers a wide range of factors, including, among others:
Combination of transaction execution and asset custody services (without a separate fee for custody).
• Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for Client accounts).
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 22 OF 32
• Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check requests, bill
payments, etc.).
• The breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds
[ETFs], etc.).
• Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions.
• Quality of services.
• Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, other fees, etc.) and willingness to
negotiate the prices.
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability.
• Prior service to our Firm and our other Clients.
Availability of other products and services that benefit our Firm, as discussed below (see “Products and Services
Available to Us from Schwab”).
CLIENT BROKERAGE & CUSTODY COSTS
For Clients' accounts, Custodians maintain and generally do not charge separately for custody services.
However, Custodians receive compensation by charging ticket charges or other fees on trades it executes or
settling into Clients' Custodial accounts. In addition to commissions, the Custodians charge a flat dollar amount
as a "prime broker" or "trade away" fee for each trade that our Firm has executed by a different broker-dealer
but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities sold are deposited (settled) into a Client’s
Custodial account. These fees are in addition to the ticket charges or compensation the Client pays the executing
broker-dealer. Because of this, our Firm has the Custodian execute most trades for Client accounts to minimize
trading costs. Our Firm has determined that having Schwab and Fidelity execute most trades is consistent with
our duty to seek the "best execution" of Client trades. Best execution means the most favorable terms for a
transaction based on all relevant factors, including those listed above (see How Our Firm Selects Custodian-
Broker).
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AVAILABLE TO US FROM SCHWAB
Schwab Advisor Services™ (formerly called Schwab Institutional®) provides independent investment advisory
Firms and Clients with access to its institutional brokerage, trading, custody, reporting, and related services,
many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes available various
support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our Clients’ accounts; others help us
manage and grow our business. Schwab’s support services typically are available on an unsolicited basis and
at no charge to our Firm. These are typically considered soft dollar benefits because there is an incentive to
do business with Schwab. Receiving soft dollar benefits creates a conflict of interest. We have established
policies in this regard to mitigate any conflicts of interest. We believe our selection of Schwab as Custodian-
Broker is in the Clients' best interests. Our Firm will always act in the best interest of our Clients and act as
fiduciary in carrying out services to Clients. The following is a more detailed description of Schwab’s support
services:
SERVICES THAT BENEFIT OUR CLIENTS
Schwab's institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products,
execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client assets. The investment products available
through Schwab include some we might not otherwise have access to or would require a significantly
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 23 OF 32
higher minimum initial investment by our Clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph benefit
our Clients and their accounts.
SERVICES THAT MAY NOT DIRECTLY BENEFIT OUR CLIENTS
Schwab also makes other products and services available that benefit our Firm but may not directly
benefit our Clients or their accounts. These products and services assist our Firm in managing and
administering our Clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of
third parties. Our Firm may use this research to service all or a substantial number of our Client's
accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab
also makes available software and other technology that:
• Provides access to Client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account
statements).
• Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple Client accounts.
Provide pricing and other market data.
• Facilitate payment of our fees from our Clients’ accounts.
• Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and Client reporting.
SERVICES THAT GENERALLY BENEFIT ONLY US
Schwab also offers other services to help our Firm manage and further develop our business enterprise.
These services include:
• Educational conferences and events
• Consulting on technology, compliance, legal, and business needs
• Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
• Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers
Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors
to provide the services to our Firm. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some of these
services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab may also provide our Firm with other benefits,
such as occasional business entertainment for our personnel.
OUR INTEREST IN CUSTODIAL SERVICES
The availability of these services from Schwab benefits our Firm because we do not have to produce or purchase
them. These services are not contingent upon our Firm committing any specific amount of business to Schwab
in trading commissions. We believe our selection of Schwab as Custodian and Broker is in our Client’s best
interests.
Some of the products, services, and other benefits provided by Schwab benefit our Firm and may not benefit
our Client accounts. Our recommendation or requirement that you place assets in Schwab's custody may be
based, in part, on the benefits Schwab provides to our Firm or our Agreement to maintain certain Assets Under
Management at Schwab and not solely on the nature, cost, or quality of custody and execution services
provided by Schwab.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 24 OF 32
Our Firm places trades for our Clients' accounts subject to its duty to seek the best execution and other fiduciary
duties. Schwab's execution quality may be different from other broker-dealers.
Our Firm does not routinely recommend, request, or require that the Client direct us to execute the transactions
through a specified Custodian. Additionally, our Firm typically does not permit the Client to direct brokerage.
We place trades for Client accounts subject to our duty to seek the best execution and other fiduciary duties.
• We will aggregate trades for ourselves or our associated persons with your trades, providing that the
following conditions are met:
o Our policy for the aggregation of transactions shall be fully disclosed separately to our existing
Clients (if any) and the broker/dealer(s) through which such transactions will be placed.
o We will only aggregate transactions if we believe that aggregation is consistent with our duty
to seek the best execution (which includes the duty to seek the best price) for the Client and is
consistent with the terms of our investment advisory agreement.
o No advisory Client will be favored over any other Client; each Client that participates in an
aggregated order will participate at the average share price for all transactions in a given
security on a given business day, with transaction costs based on each Client's participation in
the transaction.
o Our Firm will prepare a written statement (“Allocation Statement”) specifying the participating
o
Client accounts and how to allocate the order among those Clients.
If the aggregated order is filled in its entirety, it will be allocated among Clients per the
allocation statement; if the order is partially filled, the accounts that did not receive the previous
trade's positions should be "first in line" to receive the next allocation.
o Notwithstanding the preceding, the order may be allocated on a basis different from that
specified if all Client accounts receive fair and equitable treatment. The reason for the
difference in allocation will be documented and reviewed by our Firm’s Compliance Officer.
Our Firm’s books and records will separately reflect, for each Client account, the orders which
are aggregated, and the securities held by and bought for that account.
o Our Firm will not receive additional compensation or remuneration of any kind because of the
o
proposed aggregation; and
Individual advice and treatment will be accorded to each advisory Client.
BROKERAGE FOR CLIENT REFERRALS
Our Firm does not receive Client referrals from any Custodian or third party in exchange for using that broker-
dealer or third party.
AGGREGATION & ALLOCATION OF TRANSACTIONS
Our Firm does not typically aggregate transactions; however, we may aggregate transactions if we believe that
aggregation is consistent with the duty to seek the best execution for our clients and is consistent with the
disclosures made to clients and terms defined in the client Investment Advisory Agreement. If we do aggregate
trades for ourselves or our associated persons with your trades, we will ensure that the following conditions are
met:
• When only a small percentage of the order is executed, with respect to purchase allocations, allocations
may be given to accounts high in cash.
• Concerning sale allocations, allocations may be given to accounts low in cash.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 25 OF 32
• We may allocate shares to the account with the smallest order, to the smallest position, or to an account
that is out of line concerning security or sector weightings relative to other portfolios with similar
mandates.
•
•
• We may allocate one account when that account has limitations in its investment guidelines prohibiting
it from purchasing other securities that we expect to produce similar investment results, and other
accounts can purchase that in the block.
If an account reaches an investment guideline limit and cannot participate in an allocation, we may
reallocate shares to other accounts. For example, this may be due to unforeseen changes in an
account's assets after placing an order.
If a pro-rata allocation of a potential execution would result in a de minimis allocation in one or more
account(s), we may exclude the account(s) from the allocation.
• Our Firm will document the reasons for any deviation from a pro-rata allocation.
In certain cases, client requests or specific needs will trigger an unplanned transaction in a security where an
aggregate transaction occurred previously during the day. Under these circumstances, client transactions will be
excluded from the block transaction and receive differing pricing.
TRADE ERRORS
Our Firm has implemented procedures designed to prevent trade errors; however, our Firm cannot always avoid
Client trade errors.
Consistent with our Firm's fiduciary duty, it is our Firm’s policy to correct trade errors in a manner that is in the
Client's best interest. In cases where the Client causes the trade error, the Client will be responsible for any loss
resulting from the correction. Depending on the specific circumstances of the trade error, the Client may not be
able to receive any gains generated due to the error correction. In all situations where the Client does not cause
the trade error, the Client will be made whole, and we would absorb any loss resulting from the trade error if
our Firm caused the error. If the Custodian causes the error, the Custodian will cover all trade error costs. If an
investment error results in a gain when correcting the trade, the gain will be donated to charity. Our Firm will
never benefit or profit from trade errors.
DIRECTED BROKERAGE
Our Firm does not routinely recommend, request, or require that the Client direct us to execute the transaction
through a specified broker-dealer. Additionally, our Firm typically does not permit the Client to direct brokerage.
Our Firm places trades for Client accounts subject to its duty to seek the best execution and other fiduciary
duties.
A retirement or ERISA plan client may direct all or part of portfolio transactions for its account through a specific
broker or dealer to obtain goods or services on the plan's behalf. Such direction is permitted provided that the
goods and services provided are reasonable expenses of the plan incurred in the ordinary course of its business
for which it otherwise would be obligated and empowered to pay. ERISA prohibits directed brokerage
arrangements when the goods or services purchased are not for the exclusive benefit of the plan. Consequently,
we will request that plan sponsors who direct plan brokerage provide us with a letter documenting that this
arrangement will be for the exclusive benefit of the plan.

ITEM 13 - REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
CLIENT REVIEWS
Our Firm reviews Client accounts and financial plans periodically. Our IARs will monitor Client accounts regularly
and perform annual reviews with each Client. All accounts are reviewed for consistency with Client investment
strategy, asset allocation, risk tolerance, and performance. More frequent reviews may be triggered by changes
in an account holder’s personal, tax, or financial status. Geopolitical and macroeconomic-specific events may
also trigger reviews. Our recommendations depend on the information provided by the Client. Our Client must
notify our Firm of any situation that would impair our ability to manage our Client accounts properly.
The Client receives a copy of each trade confirmation (unless the Client has authorized the Custodian to suppress
the confirmations) and the standard written account statement from the qualified account Custodian every
quarter.
ITEM 14 - CLIENT REFERRALS & OTHER COMPENSATION
BROKERAGE PRACTICES
As disclosed under Item 12 Brokerage Practices, we participate in the Custodian’s institutional customer
programs, and we may recommend a Custodian to our Clients for custody and brokerage services. There is no
direct link between our participation in the program and the investment advice we give to our Clients. However,
we receive economic benefits through our participation in the program that is typically not available to any other
independent advisors participating in the program. These benefits include the following products and services
(provided without cost or at a discount):
• Receipt of duplicate Client statements and confirmations.
• Research-related products and tools.
• Consulting services.
• Access to a trading desk serving adviser participants.
• Access to block trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions for execution
and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts);
• The ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from Client accounts.
• Access to an electronic communications network for Client order entry and account information.
• Access to mutual funds with no transaction fees and certain institutional money Managers.
• Discounts on compliance, marketing, research, technology, and practice management products or
services provided to us by third-party vendors.
Custodians may also have paid for business consulting and professional services received by some of our IARs.
Some of the products and services made available by Custodians through the program may benefit us but may
not benefit your account. These products or services may assist us in managing and administering Client
accounts, including accounts not maintained at our recommended Custodian. Other services made available by
the Custodian are intended to help us manage and further develop our business enterprise. The benefits our
Firm or our IARs receive through participation in the program do not depend on the amount of brokerage
transactions directed to the Custodian. Due to these arrangements, our Client does not pay more for assets
maintained at Schwab. As part of our fiduciary duties to Clients, we always endeavor to put our Client's interests
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 27 OF 32
first. Clients should be aware, however, that receiving economic benefits from our Firm or our IARs in and of
itself creates a conflict of interest because the cost of these services would otherwise be borne directly by us.
These arrangements could indirectly influence our choice of Custodian for custody and brokerage services.
Clients should consider these conflicts of interest when selecting a Custodian. The products and services
provided by the Custodian, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are described above.
LEAD GENERATION & REFERRALS
PROMOTERS
We may enter into agreements with individuals who will promote our Firm (“Promoters”). If a Client is introduced
to our Firm by a Promoter, we will pay that Promoter a referral fee per the requirements of Rule 206(4)-1 of the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and any corresponding state securities law requirements. Any referral fee will
be paid solely from advisory fees and will not incur additional charges to the Client. The Promoter, at the time
of the referral, will disclose the nature of the Promoter relationship and provide each prospective client with a
copy of the written disclosure statement from the Promoter to the Client disclosing the terms of the arrangement
between our Firm and the Promoter, including the compensation to be received by the Promoter from our Firm.
CLIENT REFERRALS
Our firm may receive compensation from third-party investment advisers, financial firms, or other entities
(collectively “Third-Party Firms”) in exchange for referring clients to them. This compensation may take the form
of a one-time referral fee, ongoing revenue sharing, or other forms of direct or indirect compensation.
Our firm may enter into written solicitation agreements with Third-Party Firms in compliance with Rule 206(4)-4
under the investment Advisers Act of 1940, as applicable. These agreements outline the terms of our referral
relationship, including the amount of compensation received and any other material terms.
Because TPWA receives compensation for referring clients to Third-Party Firms, this creates a conflict of interest.
We have a financial incentive to recommend firms that compensate us over those that do not. To mitigate this
conflict, we ensure that referrals are made based on the client’s best interest and only to firms that we believe
provide appropriate services for the client’s needs. Clients are not obligated to use the services of any Third-
Party Firm that we recommend.
In certain instances, TPWA may receive non-cash compensation from Third-Party Firms, such as access to
research, software, training, or industry events. While these benefits do not directly result in additional costs to
clients, they could influence our recommendations. We maintain policies and procedures to ensure that any such
arrangements do not impair our fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of our clients.
GREENUP WEALTH MANAGEMENT, LLC
For purposes of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 that governs registered investment advisors, our
Firm is considered a promoter of GreenUp Street Wealth Management, LLC (“GreenUp Wealth”).
Pursuant to these regulations, we are required to provide you with the following disclosures which are
important for you to understand prior to engaging with GreenUp Wealth:
• Our Firm is not a current client of GreenUp Wealth.
•
If you engage with GreenUP Wealth for investment advisory services, our Firm will be
compensated in an amount equal to 25% of your Investment advisory fee for the duration of
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 28 OF 32
your advisory relationship with GreenUp Wealth. The compensation is paid to our firm by
GreenUP wealth for the promotion of their services and for referring you to them. There would
be no increase in the advisory fees you pay to GreenUp Wealth as a result of our agreement
with them.
• As a result of the aforementioned compensation, our firm is financially incentivized to
recommend GreenUP Wealth which results in a material conflict of interest.
LEAD GENERATION
Our Firm pays for lead generation services through other third parties. We subscribe to various lead generation
platforms. In exchange for these services, we pay a fee to the lead generation platforms. Lead generation firms
provide an online search tool to the public that allows prospective clients to search for individual advisors within
a selected state or region. These passive websites may enable prospective clients to contact an advisor via
electronic mail, telephone, or other contact information. Clients who find our Firm this way do not pay more for
their services than Clients referred in any other fashion. There is no direct solicitation of Clients for the IAR by
the lead generation service.
OTHER PROFESSIONALS
Our Firm may refer business to estate planning attorneys, accountants, insurance brokers, and other
professionals. However, we do not receive monetary or other material compensation for referring Clients to such
professionals. We also do not pay any person or firm commissions or other items of material value when referring
Clients to us. If we receive or offer an introduction to a Client, we do not pay or earn a referral fee, nor are there
established quid pro quo arrangements. Each Client can accept or deny such referral or subsequent services.
ITEM 15 - CUSTODY
Regulators have defined custody as having access or control over Client funds or securities. As it applies to our
Firm, we do not have physical custody of funds or securities.
FEE DEDUCTION
Our Firm is deemed to have constructive custody over those Client accounts where it can deduct our fees directly
from the Client account. If we comply with certain regulatory requirements, this constructive custody does not
mandate that our Firm undergo a surprise audit for those accounts. Our Clients receive account statements
directly from the qualified Custodian at least quarterly. Our Firm may send Clients quarterly reports that our Firm
produces using our portfolio accounting system, BlackDiamond.
We strongly urge our Clients to compare such reports with the statements received from the qualified Custodian.
Furthermore, when our Firm calculates our investment management fees and instructs the Custodian to remit
these fees to us directly from Clients’ accounts, the Custodian does not verify our calculation of fees. Our Firm
performs quarterly testing to ensure that our fees are charged per the Client’s Investment Advisory Agreement
on file with our Firm.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 29 OF 32
STANDING LETTERS OF AUTHORIZATION (“SLOA”)
Additionally, our Firm is deemed to have custody of the Client’s funds or securities when you have standing
authorizations with their Custodian to move money from your account to a third-party Standing Letter of
Authorization (“SLOA”) and, under that SLOA, it authorizes us to designate the amount or timing of transfers
with the Custodian. The SEC has set forth standards to protect your assets in such situations, which we follow.
We do not have a beneficial interest in any of the accounts we are deemed to have Custody of where SLOAs
are on file. In addition, account statements reflecting all activity on the account(s) are delivered directly from the
qualified Custodian to each Client or the Client’s independent representative at least monthly. You should
carefully review those statements and are urged to compare the statements against reports received from us.
When you have questions about your account statements, contact us, your Advisor, or the qualified Custodian
preparing the statement.
ITEM 16 - INVESTMENT DISCRETION
DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY
Upon receiving written authorization from the Client, our Firm provides discretionary investment advisory
services for Client accounts. For discretionary accounts, before engaging our Firm to provide investment
advisory services, you will enter into a written Investment Advisory Agreement with us granting our Firm the
authority to supervise and direct, on an ongoing basis, investments per the Client's investment objective and
guidelines. In addition, our Client will need to execute additional documents required by the Custodian to
authorize and enable our Firm, in its sole discretion, without prior consultation with or ratification by our Client,
to purchase, sell or exchange securities in and for your accounts. We are authorized, at our discretion and
without prior consultation with the Client, to (1) buy, sell, exchange, and trade any stocks, bonds, or other
securities or assets and (2) determine the amount of securities to be bought or sold and (3) place orders with the
Custodian. Any limitations to such discretionary authority will be communicated to our Firm in writing by you,
the Client.
The limitations on investment and brokerage discretion held by our Firm are:
• For discretionary accounts, we require that we be given the authority to determine which securities and
the amounts to be bought or sold.
• Any limitations on this discretionary authority shall be in writing as indicated in the Investment Advisory
Agreement. Clients may change or amend these limitations as required.
ITEM 17 - VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
PROXY VOTING
Our Firm cannot vote for Client securities. Clients will receive proxies or other solicitations directly from the
Custodian or a transfer agent. Clients are responsible for obtaining and voting proxies for all securities
maintained in their portfolios. We may provide advice to you regarding your voting of proxies. Clients can
contact our Firm with any questions or concerns about a particular solicitation.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 30 OF 32
CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS
Our Firm does not advise or instruct Clients on whether to participate as a member of class action lawsuits and
will not automatically file claims on the Client’s behalf. However, if a Client notifies us that they wish to participate
in a class action, we will provide the Client with transaction information about the Client’s account that is required
to file a proof of claim in a class action.
ITEM 18 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our Firm has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet Client contractual and fiduciary obligations
and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. We do not require or solicit prepayment of more than
$1,200 in fees per Client six months or more in advance. Therefore, we are not required to include a balance
sheet for the most recent fiscal year.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
PRIVACY POLICY
Our Firm collects non-public personal information about Clients from information received on applications or
other forms and information about Client transactions with firm affiliates, others, or our Firm. We do not disclose
any nonpublic personal information about current or former Clients except as permitted by law or to provide
services. Firm employees have limited access to Clients' data based on their responsibilities to provide products
or services to Clients.
Our Firm maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in compliance with federal standards to
protect Client information. If the IAR servicing a Client account leaves our Firm to join another firm, the IARs are
not permitted retain copies of specific
A copy of our Firm's Privacy Policy is given to each Client at account opening, upon request, and provided
annually.
BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN
Our Firm has developed a Business Continuity Plan to address how our Firm will respond to events that
significantly disrupt the operation of our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions are
unpredictable, our Firm will be flexible in responding to current events as they occur.
Within 24 hours after a significant business disruption, our Firm plans to quickly recover and resume business
operations and respond by safeguarding employees and property, making a financial and operational
assessment, protecting our Firm’s books and records, and allowing Clients to transact business. Given the scope
and severity of the significant business disruption, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our Firm to
resume operations as quickly as possible.
TWIN PEAKS WEALTH ADVISORS
JUNE 2025 | PAGE 31 OF 32
Our Firm’s business continuity plan addresses: data back-up and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial
and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate
physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank, and counter-party impact; regulatory
reporting; and assuring Clients’ prompt access to their funds and securities if our Firm is unable to continue as
a business.
Our Firm backs up essential records in a geographically separate area. At the same time, every emergency poses
unique problems based on external factors, such as the time of day and the severity of the disruption. Its
objective is to restore operations and be able to complete existing transactions and accept new transactions
and payments within four hours of the disruptive event. Client orders and requests for funds and securities could
be delayed during this period.
CONTACTING US
If a Client cannot contact our Firm via 650-200-0308 after a significant business disruption, please visit the
website at www.twinpwa.com to review updated contact information.
VARYING DISRUPTIONS
Significant business disruptions can vary in scope, such as disruption that affects only our Firm, a single building
housing our Firm, the business district where our Firm is located, the city where our Firm is located, or the whole
region. Within each area, the disruption's severity can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption to only
our Firm or a building housing our Firm, our Firm will transfer operations to a local site when needed and expect
to recover and resume business within 24 hours.
In a disruption affecting our Firm’s business district, city, or region, our Firm will transfer operations to a site
outside the affected area and recover and resume business within three (3) days. In either situation, our Firm
plans to continue the business, transfer operations to its clearing firm if necessary, and provide Clients with
instructions on contacting our Firm through its parent company’s website: [WEBSITE]. If the significant business
disruption is so severe that it prevents our Firm from remaining in business, our Firm will ensure the Client’s
prompt access to their funds and securities.
This information is provided solely to Clients of our Firm, and no further distribution or disclosure is permitted
without the prior written consent of our Firm. No person other than our Firm Clients can rely on any statement
herein. Our Firm’s Business Continuity Plan is reviewed and updated regularly and is subject to change.
